32 Dec 21 Reply Thank you Lynne we had a lot more than are on show here. I made the image with intention to do Photo gravure so it is on the darker side but I see how everyone see's it that way. Dec 12th
32 Dec 21 Comment Hi Diana I have been working on creative and composites for some time now. With this one the concept is good but there are a few things that stand out a bit to me. The Goat is too bright for the setting and the fall of light doesnt match the background image light. The truck needs to throw a shadow too and the birds look upside down or something not right with them. Shadow and light play a really big role in getting the image right. Have a look at the Creative comp that PSA had just recently for members. Also if you are really keen there are some very informative tutorials out there for composites which I can refer you to.

Just a really quick fix and not the same sepia and finish as you but added shadow to goat and truck as well as different birds to give you an idea.

32 Dec 21 Comment Hi Wes thank you for the feedback. We had heaps of orchids bloom this year, I have attached a couple for you to see. They still have some flowers on them now even after storms and very hot weather. I took these images for sending to get a photo gravure plate made, as I want to print one up as part of an exhibition. My aim was to get that light and dark within it so that it prints like that with ink. I did forget to write about that when I submitted the image. Dec 9th
32 Dec 21 Reply Thank you Rick it does look better at midpoint. I am going to try a texture and light flare on side and see what that does to it. Dec 9th
32 Dec 21 Reply Thank you Tom I will have a look at a re edit. Dec 9th
32 Dec 21 Reply Thank you Jennifer, I agree with lightsource added and will have a go at a re edit. Dec 9th
32 Dec 21 Reply Thank you Stephen it does come across as dark but I did try what you did before I submitted and found it washes the flowers out a bit too much. I would probably re edit with textures and an overlay lightsource. I will see if I get time in the next week to have a go and present to the group. Dec 9th
